Solar Installer

Solar States is a Philadelphia-based solar company focusing on commercial and residential installation and solar education. We operate from one office in Philadelphia, PA. As a B-Corp, our company is committed to the pursuit of the triple bottom line: people, the planet, and profit. Solar States has cultivated a highly productive, yet loose and flat company culture. We are looking for self-motivated people who excel at working collaboratively in a growth-oriented environment.

Each Solar Installer will work with his or her team to assemble, install, or maintain solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on roofs, ground mounts, or other structures in compliance with site assessment and provided plans. The job will include measuring, cutting, assembling, and bolting structural framing and solar modules. This position also includes minor electrical work. Most work will be performed on roofs, so the Installer should be comfortable with heights.
